Gee, you asked this like two months ago - I'm really far behind
on the gnuradio list. Nevertheless (for the archives, I guess): After
some research, I found (and ordered) the VIA VT1621L chipset. It works
in linux and can support 2.665e+07 bytes/sec recieving and 2.317e+07
bytes/sec transmitting. You can get an add-on card that uses this
chipset for less than $20.
